Visit the world's deepest underground laboratory: "waiting for a rabbit" at 2400 meters underground

2022-11-02

Recently, the reporter visited the Jinping Underground Laboratory in China, which is located in the middle of the Jinping Mountain Tunnel in Liangshan, Sichuan Province. The laboratory is the largest underground laboratory in the world. The 2400 meter rock depth blocks a large amount of radiation from the mountain. The high-purity germanium detector in the laboratory has six layers of "armor", including polyethylene, lead and copper, shielding neutron, gamma ray and other radiation sources layer by layer. If the recoil energy left by the detector's material in the "mountain crossing" collision is different from that of ordinary matter, it may be dark matter, which is "waiting for the hare".
